With the substantial decline of Purple
Martins in recent years, every colony is noteworthy. It was was a
treat to see these Purple Martins near Sutton and Sibbald Provincial Park
on 23 July
2015. It isn't on the shoreline of Lake Simcoe, but there is a small wetland
with cattails on the property. Ron Pittaway has known about this
colony for several years. |
